MATURITY
‘Ego-less’ perspective.
Graciously accepting
change.
Not wanting more than you
need.
Innocence revisited …
constantly.
Greeting each day with
enthusiasm.
Effusiveness taking cues
from considerateness.
Steadily caring despite
inadequacies and inequities.
Appreciating your
uniqueness while comfortably ‘blending in’.
Constantly making a
difference in the world by focusing on the plight of others.
Arrogance and denigration
of others banished; honest inquiry and equanimity installed.
- Perhaps informed
perspective is a prerequisite for wisdom.
- Perhaps all
living things strive for maturity without knowing it.
- Perhaps being
comfortable with who you are is necessary before personal
progress can begin.
- Perhaps early
awkward tentativeness gradually recedes as knowledge
bolsters confidence.
- Perhaps rot and
petrifaction can only be avoided by sustaining nourishment
from ‘above and below’.
- Perhaps the dawn
of the first amoeba heralded a destiny humans are just now
becoming aware of.
- Perhaps if the
blossoms of spring flower through the fall you know you have
been a successful gardener.
- Perhaps nothing
is more attractive then the inner glow of wonderment shining
steadily through the wrinkles.
- Perhaps
gracefully accepting your limitations while persevering is
not just laudatory but essential for realizing your
potential.
- Perhaps
enlightened religious leaders and sages can be consulted for
their profound awareness’s; perhaps you can trust their
admonitions when predicated on love … for all.
